An American Airlines passenger was arrested after stealing $10,000 from other flyers on the plane.
On Tuesday, Diego Sebastian Radio boarded a flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Miami, Florida. In addition to stealing the $10K, Radio also stole more than 14,000 Argentine Pesos and two credit cards from two other passengers.
A spokesperson for the airline says, “American Airlines flight 900, with service from Buenos Aires (EZE) to Miami (MIA), was met by law enforcement and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents upon arrival in Miami. Due to reports of possible theft by a customer on board. The individual was taken into custody by CBP agents.”
Radio’s theft journey was discovered after a flight attendant noticed his suspicious activity mid-flight. Radio allegedly paced the aisle and then took an unassigned seat near one of the victims.
The flight attendant then asked the passenger to check her belongings and found that several items were missing.
Other crew members reported Radio’s behavior to CBP agents upon landing in Miami. He was later arrested after the missing items were found in his possession.
